Traders should take note that the stock has now cut through its important daily chart 20-day moving average. This moving average is highly followed by many day and swing traders. Most investors will focus on the 50-day moving average which is around the $314.00 level. When a stock trades below the important 50-day moving average is usually a sign of technical weakness for the stock, but a close below the 20-day will often result in a test of the 50-day moving average.
